'I defy you, barbed demon of the woods!' said Anguirel to a rock. 'Taste my blade, hedgehog!'

Characteristically, the rock did not reply. But someone else did.

'Morituri non cogitant,' a voice whispered behind him.

'Who goes there?' the woodman cried. He turned and brandished his wood-axe. 'Show your face, craven!'

There was no response, save the rustling of leaves. Small shadows approached the madman of the woods. Small spined shadows.

'Ai! Ai! The hedgehogs! They have come to unfetter their chieftain! O azure warthog! lend me your tusks!'

He rushed at the hedgehogs, essaying to smite them all down. But the hedgehogs changed shape. They grew bigger, more sinewy; fangs grew out of their mouths. They had become were-hedgehogs.

'Ah! They have sent their most savage minions! I fear them not.'

There was a great battle. Anguirel's axe sang as he had slaughtered seventy of the were-hedgehogs. But outnumbered, he was soon spent. His axe left his hand as he sank to the ground, weary and wounded. The hedgehogs gloated as they rent his body and devoured his flesh.

Behind the trees, four vile voices laughed.

The scroll of the census was changed:

Nilpaurion Felagund, the Prophet of the Mod God, was lynched by suspicious means on the first NIGHT.
Garin, an Ordinary Villager, was lanced like a boil on the the first DAY.
Anguirel, an Ordinary Villager, was massacred by were-hedgehogs on the second NIGHT.

Those alive are:

dancing spawn of ungoliant, a laundress
Kath, a turtle-farmer
Lhunardawen, a Dark Elf (literally)
Caranlondien, a lumberjack
tar-ancalime, a witch
Cailín, the town gossip
Celuien, a psychiatrist
Naria, a midwife who goes ever so slightly mad with each birth
Valier, a small, sweet sheep-shearer
Lalaith, a rich young widow
Thinlómien, a mushroom-picker
Formendacil, an unemployed person
littlemanpoet, a stone-cutter
Glirdan, an unemployed person
Farael, an escaped mental asylum internee who suffers from chronic suicidal tendency and conspiracy theories
Eomer of the Rohirrim, the royal musician
Gurthang, an arrowsmith
the guy who be short, a Nilp fan, stalker and impersonator, also a fisherman
Eonwe, a wayfaring stranger
SamwiseGamgee, the town bank manager
